You know. Too many people seem to expect THEIR greatest dreams on celuloid with every movie and when the inevitable let down comes nall they can do is dig for things to piss and moan about. They can't see past their own damn grubby childish "this is the way it has to be to be awesome" preconcieved ideas.
If they want nothing but a bloody kill fest. They bitch about "crappy dialogue".
If they want nothing but great shakspearing monologues they whine constantly about "crappy characters" etc. This MOVIE WAS A HORROR/ACTION FLICK!!!!!! Don't expect Shakspear from a action movie for friggin sakes.
AVP:R was great in my opinion. It allowed for a knock down, drag out fight between these two icons of scifi horror to clash in a modern setting WITHOUT completely throwing out the timeline for one of the protagonists. I mean come friggin on people! In order for Earth to be CONSUMED by xenomorphs you have to completely throw out the timeline for the original movies. While it would be fun to watch, still I understand why it simply would not be.
Another thing, they kept to the natures of the creatures they are dealing with UNLIKE the travesty called AVP. I am speaking specifically about the Predator in this installment. It acted more like a badassed intergalactic big game hunter, which I think would obviously NEVER team up with "prey".
And I liked the little depth they dove to in the human characters. Made them real enough to me that I could actually believe they are real people.
All in all. I say it was a good view but I would have prefered to not seen the predalien be a mobile queen.
Oh yea on that note: XENOMOPRHS TAKE ON A LITTLE BIT OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THEIR HOSTS PEOPLE!!!!!
Thusly your going to get a xenomorph with some Predator attributes from a predator host. Remember the dog from I think Alien 3? I am sick and tired of people claiming to love the alien series yet seem to NOT know that one, I thought, obvious fact.
